Hi all, I picked out, and put together some hardware for a new FreeBSD powered box. I chose a WD blue drive I knew was pretty zippy. But I was quite disappointed to discover that FreeBSD wouldn't support it @6Gb. The following output from dmesg(8): GEOM: new disk ada0 ada0: <WDC WD10EZEX-75WN4A0 01.01A01> ACS-3 ATA SATA 3.x device ada0: Serial Number WD-WCC6Y3CJCTDC ada0: 300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes) ada0: Command Queueing enabled ada0: 953869MB (1953525168 512 byte sectors) My hardware supports it; both drive, and controller. Yet for some reason FreeBSD will only *acknowledge* the capabilities. Do I need to impose some quirk, or something. Thanks! -- Chris out...
